Meet Neil - Animal Rescue Rhode Island
Neil is a 12-week-old mixed-breed puppy, but one thing is certain—he’s 100% pure love. This sweet, docile boy already shows just how special he is, especially when he curls up in a warm lap for a cozy nap. His gentle, easygoing nature will make you fall for him almost instantly.
Neil has the squishiest face with the most adorable wrinkles, perfectly matching his soft, lovable personality. His unique markings make him even more irresistible—think caramel-colored spots scattered across his coat, a few cow-like patches, and one striking black ring around his eye that gives him the cutest, one-of-a-kind look.
He’s growing quickly and enjoying all the good puppy things: toys, treats, affection, and being close to his people. Like all young puppies, Neil is still learning the basics and will thrive in a home ready to guide him with patience, consistency, and lots of love.
Neil is looking for someone ready for the lifelong commitment of raising a puppy and welcoming him as a true family member. If you’re searching for a tender-hearted pup with a squishy face, a calm soul, and endless love to give, Neil may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for.
Meet Asami - Anti-Cruelty Society
Asami is a 2-month-old German Shepherd puppy with a very serious commitment to being sweet, curious, and quietly observant of everything you do. She is currently mastering important puppy skills like investigating noises, perfecting her tiny head tilt, and deciding whether she is brave enough for new adventures. Asami is looking for a forever home where her curiosity will be encouraged, her naps will be respected, and her future as a loyal companion will be fully supported.
Asami would thrive in a home that can keep up with her playful streak and energetic personality. Her ideal family will have a sense of humor, a commitment to puppy training, and the ability to redirect her curiosity before it turns into light chaos. She would love a home that enjoys playtime, encourages good choices, and understands that a little mischief is simply part of her charm.
Meet Grayson - Big Bones Canine Rescue
Meet Grayson, a thirteen-week-old, three-pound purebred Miniature Schnauzer with a tiny fighter spirit. Grayson came to Big Bones Canine Rescue from a breeder who surrendered him after realizing they would not be able to sell him due to a heart condition. He was born with three separate heart conditions, and while his prognosis is severe, he is currently under the care of Colorado State University's leading cardiology team for the treatment of congenital cardiac diseases.
Due to his condition, Grayson's lifespan will be affected, and surgery is highly likely. He requires an adopter who is prepared to provide for his ongoing financial and medical needs, including maintaining a close relationship with a cardiologist.
Despite these challenges, Grayson is full of life. He is an independent, brave little nugget who loves pouncing on toys, exploring new things, and getting snuggles. This sweet, goofy boy is absolutely charming and has a playful personality that will melt your heart. He's incredibly loving and has no idea he's any different from other puppies—he just wants to play, cuddle, and be part of a family.
Meet Ernie - Haven Animal Rescue
Meet Ernie. Tiny body, BIG personality! Born approximately November 3rd 2025, Ernie is a 3-lb Chihuahua mix who is already convinced he’s one of the big dogs. Ernie’s life didn’t begin easily; he and his littermate were found abandoned as babies in a rural apartment, but you’d never know it by his joyful spirit. Don’t let his size fool you… this little guy is full of confidence, curiosity, and charm.
Like all puppies, Ernie loves to play hard and then snuggle harder. In his foster home, he can often be found chasing the resident dogs, determined to prove he belongs in the “big boys club.” When playtime is over, he happily curls up for a well earned nap.
Ernie is a smart and spicy little nugget who is catching on quickly. He eats like a champ, sleeps through the night in his crate, and is working on potty training. He’s doing great with the children in his foster home, but due to his tiny size, a home without very young kiddos would be best. This spunky, affectionate boy will make a fun, loving companion for one lucky forever family.
Meet CJ - Humane Society of the Black Hills
Say hello to Calamity Jane — CJ for short. She's a husky mix, just 18 weeks old, with zoomies for days, a love of play, and a personality big enough to light up an entire Puppy Bowl stadium.
True to her husky roots, CJ is smart, playful, affectionate, and just the right amount of mischievous. She’s learning quickly, loving big, and approaching every day with curiosity and enthusiasm. Whether she’s chasing her football, mastering new puppy skills, or soaking up attention, CJ brings heart, hustle, and happiness wherever she goes.
CJ may be tiny now, but her spirit is unstoppable — and her greatest adventure will begin when she finds the family who chooses her for life.
Calamity Jane would do best with a family who understands and embraces the joyful energy of a husky puppy. Her perfect match may include: An active household ready for puppy play, training, and adventures. A family with children who can help channel her playful energy (with supervision, of course). Other friendly dogs who enjoy playtime and social interaction. A securely fenced yard or commitment to regular exercise and enrichment. Patient adopters excited to help a smart, energetic puppy learn and grow. With structure, love, and plenty of play, CJ will thrive — returning every ounce of care with loyalty, laughter, and endless tail wags.
Meet Bear - Joey's Friends
Meet Bear, a 10-year-old Chinese Shar-Pei with a heart full of love. Bear has endured years of neglect — left tied outside without proper care. When he arrived, he was suffering from severe skin issues, eye infections, and a painful urinary infection. He had shut down completely, showing no interest in treats, toys, or affection.
But Bear’s story is one of resilience and hope. With medical treatments, medicated baths, and lots of love, he slowly began to heal — both physically and emotionally. Now, his sweet personality shines through! He loves cuddles, companionship, and every bit of attention he can get.
Meet Noodle - Nashville Humane Association
Noodle is a 3-month-old sweetheart with a calm, lovable personality and a big appreciation for the simple things in life. She loves spending time with her humans, whether that’s relaxing at home or cheering you on from the sidelines while you go about your day.
When playtime rolls around, Noodle enjoys playing with her favorite stuffies and never says no to a tasty treat. She’s the perfect mix of easygoing and playful, making her a wonderful companion for just about any home.
Noodle is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines, and she’s more than ready to find her forever family. If you’re looking for a sweet puppy who will happily be by your side (and in your corner), Noodle can’t wait to meet you!

Meet Mateo - Pet Haven
Mateo is a 16-week-old Lab/Shepherd/Husky — A classic Minnesota Mix! Found in rural Northern Minnesota with his 8 siblings under an abandoned house, cold, with no mom in sight. He has the sweetest eyes you’ve ever seen that seem to always say, "thank you for saving me."

Meet Bonnie - The National Humane Education Society
Introducing Bonnie. This sunshiny girl is all about good times and lots of play. And, when the day is done, she loves to snuggle up together for a good nap. Bonnie can’t wait to share each day with you doing things like: Learning basic obedience in exchange for tasty treats, listening to how your day went while you give them ear scratches and pets, and being your biggest fan (with head tilts to prove it) when you sing in the shower.
She'll sniff all the great spots in the neighborhood on leash walks so you don’t have to, greet you at the door like you have been gone for years even if you only went to get the mail, and take so many selfies of adventures together that you run out of room on your phone.
